Back to school...

Well yesterday was the first day of school for the boys. They were very excited to be heading to preschool, this is Noah's 2nd year in Bright Futures Preschool and Calebs first year. Same class, same teacher... should be interesting. They seemed to have a good first day, talked about playing with blocks, singing songs and most importantly having snacks... which were colored goldfish crackers on the first day!

Todd drops Meg off at Sherry's (who is our sitter, kids "second mom" and answer to our prayers in lot of ways!) and then he and the boys head to school. Since in our small town there is one big school, K-12, and the pre-school is there as well. The boys hang out with Todd in his classroom until almost 8, when he can take them to the grade school gym to wait to go to their class.

Yesterday we were laughing about how next year he will have 4 kids in his classroom in the mornings! It will be like preschool in itself! Noah will be in kindergarden and then Caleb, Ellen and Meg will all be in Bright Futures together! What a hoot that will be.

Big weekend at our house... it is the Fall festival (aka travelling carnival). The boys are excited about the "crazy rides". Last weekend we made the trip to Chicago to see Bob (Anne's Brother) and rode the huge ferris wheel at Navy Pier. The kids also rode the merry go round... and Meg loved that. She waved and blew kisses the whole time... so I am sure she'll be all over the merry go round this weekend as well.

As for our adoption efforts, our home study is at the state, we are waiting for approval from them. I am hoping we have that within 6 weeks... hurry up and wait...
just need to remember it will all happen in God's time...
